Bloggers tend to paint a picture of constant euphoria, of happiness, of adventure, of the grandest lifestyle that everyone is missing out on. It can be all of those things. But it isn’t always rainbows, butterflies, and happiness. Actually, rarely is it an “ideal” lifestyle. It is a lonely road at times, a hard road at times, a sad road at times, and a road to emotions you tried to hide deep down inside. Travel can be one helluva potent drug, and if used as a supplement for things you… Read More

It’s been a short period of time since I discovered my interest in writing, and it’s been equally as short a period of time since I discovered that I could grab life by the…erm…horns and I had the power to do what I want in life. For a while there until I traveled for the first time in 2011 to New Zealand, life was on auto-pilot. I was drowning in un-happiness, buying up all the shiny things I could, working at a job I hated, and scouring dating sites to… Read More

The primal reaction all humans have in the face of imminent danger or in a nervous situations that makes you… Read More

Chalk another one up beside Y2k for epic prophecy FAILS of our time! Or just mass idiocy. There was no fire and brimstone for Bruce Willis to prevent. No aliens invading for Will Smith to punchasize in the forehead. And no zombies for a sexy leather clad Milla Jovovich to fight off In 13 sequels. And I’m as tired of hearing about the “Mayan Prophecy” as much as the next person. But lets just play “what if” for a minute… What if there had been an actual apocalypse? What if… Read More

Your life can change in an instant. Sometimes that phrase is difficult to grasp since we get caught up in our daily lives and don’t realize when things pass us by — for example: life. But just like a lightbulb, it can burn out without a hint of notice, leaving the faintest remnant of that light clinging on to the last minutes of what once was before fizzing out forever.
